I think most women with curves have that problem. There’s a fashion standard model body type, which very few real women can maintain.

Bought my last pair of jeans 2 years ago (I think, perhaps more) and I had to buy two sizes larger to fit my thighs. I probably didn’t need two sizes; I just don’t want my thighs to look like wrapped sausages!

I totally feel your pain. I too have the size 16/18 saggy butt problem. Sometimes I have to shop in the womens department rarely the regular department. Sigh. Its my own fault I never stick with a diet. I’ve been on WW forever. Currently 1 year and I’ve lost 4 pounds. Yay me. So far with the running 1 1/5 pounds but I’m still going to weigh ins.

The scale vs. size changes is the same for me…20+ pounds before I change sizes in clothes…sigh. I always think of it like letting air out of a tire…a little smaller but the same exact shape!

This is exactly why I have so many pairs of shoes, coats, and purses! My high-heeled, red patent leather platforms will never betray me.

Hey

Definitely go to Lane Bryant…have ALWAYS had the same problem as you with any pants, huge gap in the waist. Lane Bryant now has the “right fit” jeans. They are color coded, if your pants are always too big in the waist and gap, but fit decent everywhere else, get the Blue Right Fit. You can read about it at the Lane Bryant website. They truly do fit right…why did it take sooooo long for someone to design these and WHY in the hell aren’t ALL their pants, shorts, capris fitted this way…never the less there not–don’t understand that!

Seriously, try the Blue Right Fit–let me know, I think you’ll be pleased!

I haven’t bought a pair of jeans in years. Even those with stretch tend to get tight around the waist and belly when I sit down. And when I sit, I want to be comfortable. So I have stretchy black pants that I wear all the time. I dress them down with t-shirts and up with blouses and jackets. I can wear sneakers or heels with them. And most of all, they’re totally comfortable.

Plus, I’ve gotten them from Chicos and HSN. At Chicos, I wear size 3, but at HSN, I wear a L. Gotta like that.

And what exactly is “petite” about a size 20??????

OMG – this is exactly my problem between an 18 and 20 – waist way too big, ass and thighs too tight. The back of my pants are always gapping.
How I envy you between the 16 and 18. I SOOOOOOO wish I was there.
I’m following your running – as soon as my knee is healed (knee surgery three weeks ago) I’ll be out there on the road with you!!!

I hate, hate, hate sizing. Especially dresses. I’m always bigger on top than on bottom.

My advice would be get the bigger pair and take them to a good tailor. I do that and it’s not as expensive as you would think.
